A wire stop prevents the insulation from entering the
product wire barrel, and also acts as a guard to
prevent injury to fingers. A stop bracket attached to the
stop provides support beneath the product during
crimping. Figure 2 shows typical product and required
wire strip length.
The head assembly can be operated by either tool
listed in Section 1, INTRODUCTION. Although there
are differences in tools, basic operation and
maintenance are similar and are covered in 408-1310.
Be sure to read these (or other) related instructions,
paying special attention to precautions and air
pressure specifications.
3. INSTALLING THE HEAD ASSEMBLY (Figure 3)
DANGER
STOP
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY! Disconnect the
pneumatic tool from its air supply before installing
the head assembly.
1. Remove assembly pins from mounting lugs.
2. Using your finger, rotate the top end of the toggle
arm toward the front of the tool as far as it will go.
3. Insert toggle lever of head assembly into toggle
arm of tool until it snaps into place. (Links of head
assembly will go to the inside of the tool mounting
lugs.)
4. Insert assembly pins; make sure pins go the
whole way through the entire tool and snap into
place.
To disassemble: remove pins, lower head assembly
away from mounting lugs, rotate head assembly 90_,
and remove from toggle arm.
4. CRIMPING TERMINALS AND SPLICES
DANGER
STOP
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY! Keep fingers clear of
crimp area. Be careful to keep body parts and other
objects away from trigger until ready to cycle tool.
1. Pre-strip wires to the dimensions in Figure 2.
2. Place terminal or splice in crimping area of die
head assembly as shown in Figure 4.
3. Insert stripped wire into terminal or splice so that
the wire butts against the wire stop. (If properly
stripped, wire insulation will not enter the product
wire barrel.)

4. Cycle head assembly. Press tool trigger and hold
it down until crimping stroke is complete, then
release trigger.
5. Remove crimped product; for splices, repeat
steps 2 through 4 for the other end.
6. Inspect crimps for items shown in Figure 5 and
pull lightly on wire to be sure insulation crimp will
hold. Reject all nonconforming crimps.
